Tho Water wheels Or Klamath.

Through the plain Of Klamath, ia
Syria, following general northerly di-
rection, runs the river Nahr Ell Aasy, or
Orontes. It is fed BY the waters Of
Lebanon. Near the end Of its course il
bends to the westward, and passing
through the Valley Of Antioch, dis
charges ID the Mediterranean nearly OPP
posite the island Of Cyprus. It is the
main reliance Of the great plain for its
water supply. Hundreds Of water
wheels, some turned by the current,
0Shers caused to revolve by animal
power, are situated uponits banks. Tho
region depends upon these for its agri-
cultural prosperity.
Where water is to be raised from wells
of some depth, an endless rope carrying
backets is caused to descend on one side
and ascend upon the other into and out
Of the well. The rising portion carries
up the buckets filed. AS they reach
certain point they are .emptied into an
aqueduct and descend again empty.
The rope is often made out Of branches
Of the myrtle, as that is SO rough that it
does not slip. a camel walking round
and round III q circle turns . vertical
spindle, which BY rude gearing works
the endless rope Of the Buckets. Con
siderable quantities Of water can be thus
raised. But the characteristic wheel Of
tho land Of Klamath, il different from
this. The river itself is the great source
Of power, and water wheels turned BY
the current are largely used. AT the
principal cities Of Horus and Klamath
many are employed to supply the per-
sonal needs Of the inhabitants, and these
cities are quite famous for their wheels.
The whole region il Of great interest in
its relation to the DO ks Of tho Old Testa-
ment. Many illusions to the land and
to the entrance into Klamath" occur
there.
The wheels vary not only in character,
but in size. Some, such as that just de-
scriced. are adapted to be turned BY g.
single draught animal, while others are
of vast dimensions. sometimes over
eighty feet in diameter. Scientific Afser-

Logan's Swartlly Complexion.

1T is physiological fact, says Or.
Roberts, THAT the first child BY second
marriage often resembles the deceased
wife or husband to an extraordinary de
gree. General Logan's case is the most
wonderful illustration Of this fact ever
heard of. me Generals father, DIR. Lo-
gan, was rather dark, but not swarthy,
while his mother was blue-eyed and fair
haired. Yet, General Logan, strange as
it may seem, inherited tho Indian fea-
lures and complexion Of DR.. Logan 5
half breed wife. who died several years
previously. The first Mrs. Logan was
beautiful, as those half-breed women
often are, and was paratively fair,
much fairer, indeed than her daughter,
General I.ogan's half sister, or than the
General himself. The grandchildren Of
the Generals half sister, by the by liv-
ing here in Carbondale. show strongly
marked traces Of their Indian descent
though down to the fourth generation. I"

prejudice regarding the violin in sacred
music. The prejudice is dying out and

or chord upon the violin as upon the
organ, or through the vocal register, and
why may not these same tones express
as much devout feeling upon one ihstru-
ment as upon another.

A Merited Rebuke.

A gentleman prominent in legal cir
cles in Boston was recently riding in a
train, and in the seat before him was q
young and gayly dressed damsel.. The
car was pretty full, and presently an
elderly woman entered, and, finding
no seat vacant but the one beside the
young woman mentioned, sat down
beside her. She was decently dress
ed woman, but apparently of humble
station, and she carried several clum-
sy bundles, which were evidently Sc
rious annoyance to her seatmate. The
young woman made an effort to con-
ceal her vexation, but in the most con-
spicuous manner showed the passen-
gers around her that she considered 1t
an impertinent intrusion for the new
conner to presume to sit down beside
her. In a few moments the old wom-
an, depositing her packages upon the
seat, went across the car to speak to an
acquaintance she discovered on the op-
posite side of the aisle. The lawyer
leaned forward to the offended young
lady and courteously asked if she
would change seats with him. A
smile of gratified vanity showed how
pleased she was to have attracted the
notice of so MISUNDERSTANDING
gentleman. ooh, thank you ever so
much 7" she said, effusively. II
should like to, but it would be as bad
for you as for me to sit beside such an

ference of manner; 'it was not your

Refined Speech.

Nothing is more indicative Of real
refinement than accuracy, simplicity
and appropriateness Of speech in con-
versation, accompanied with such en-
phasis and such modulation of voice
as are necessary for the desired effect.
Honor the essential words in every ex-
preston, and never dishonor them by
the introduction of redundant words
for sake of emphasis. It is grievous
wrong to allow young girls to grow up
and graduate from the schools with
the silly habit of expressions that now
so generally characterize their tag;
II Shall be, o SO much obliged;" )" ~
shall be just delighted! :" 20 my, can't
begin to tell you how glad I shall bel"
ut will be just splendid-too nice FOR
Such foolish attempts at
eiaculatory emphasis ought to be
promptly and effectually rebuked by
parents and teachers, and the young
girls who indulge in them ought to be
taught how to speak with propriety,
grace and emphasis.
